Dear Sterling,
I have been playing Weiss, et al., on a 76cm string length recently and
it works nicely, although for some of the crazier keys where big
stretches are involved it can be uncomfortable. That said, most of the
rep works fine on that string length - and I have very small hands.
At 392 you can have a gut f' last several weeks, although lower would
probably work even better. I have a large 11c I keep at 370, it sounds
nice and meaty.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Benjamin

Hi all--
The list has seemed very inactive lately so here is a question:
Is
there anyone on the list who plays a baroque lute on the big
side, say
around 76 cm? I am just curious as to what strings and pitch has
worked
for you. I just adore my Larry Brown 1987 Edlinger, and I'm
thinking of
trying something new with the strings. It has a mix of just about
everything now.
Thanks!
